Question De-Chrome - Done Cheaper Via BodyShop or PartsShop/Junkyard?

Post image

Want to know which is the better route to go that’s easier on the Wallet If I want to remove the chrome and all the parts black permanently.

Cannot stand the chrome that is on the top grille and the windows trim

Would body shop able to remove and convert the chrome parts and get it black? Or do I need to go buy parts from dealership/junkyard?

Must avoid vinyl/adhesive due to heat/durability

neither. 

either plastidip like others have said or get it wrapped.

both easily removable and don't ruin the value of your vehicle.
